A new PSLE scoring system has been implemented this year, in which students will be scored by Achievement Levels (AL) based on their individual performance in the PSLE subjects, regardless of how their peers have done.

The indicative PSLE Score range refers to the PSLE Score of the first and last student admitted into a particular school in the previous year via SI Posting. For St. Margaret’s Secondary School, our indicative PSLE Score range in 2020 was as follows:

Non-Affiliated			Affiliated
Express	Normal (Academic)	Normal (Technical)	Express	Normal (Academic)	Normal (Technical)
9 - 11	21 - 22	25 - 27	9 - 20	22 - 25	25 - 28

Students can also consider the Direct School Admission (DSA)-Secondary as an alternative admission pathway. The DSA recognises students' diverse talents and achievements in areas that are not demonstrated at the PSLE, such as sports, performing arts and leadership.

Aside from the PSLE scores, there are other equally important factors when considering what would be a good fit for your child’s overall learning needs. For example, the schools' distinctive programmes, Co-Curricular Activities, ethos and culture, as well as home-school distance.
